Keeping it on thread Beaumanoir, really thow Americans have had tough time's with everyone else, most are working 9 to 5 just to make end's meet also. The amount you make seems to coincide with what you need to pay in general. Some have more then they need and others need that excess.

The deficit was just increased to a record high. Not much I can do but vote.

Any kind of fictional work isn't going to mirror reality.

Are Americans patriotic? Yes. probably more so than many other nations.
Is that a bad thing? I don't think so. They take pride in themselves and their country. Nothing wrong with that.

So, someone risks there life for saving the flag, I dont see anything at all wrong with that.

Americans generaly hold the flag in high regaruds, solider or no. I am rushed out in pouring rain to get our flag from getting too worn out several times. Something wrong with that?

Do you find the shots of Iwo Jima cheesly patriotic? Are English...Well nevermind, Z said to keep it polite.

LOL - so let me see.. You live in a small town in Texas and are home schooled. I'm guessing that you haven't travelled much. On what are you basing your poor opinion of the English?

It seems whenever I see American National Broadcasts from the White House they all seem to end in "God Bless America!".

This might be extremely offensive if you're American, but remember I mean no offense in it.......


But it seems that your president thinks God will support them if they decide to blow the world up with a series of Nuclear Warheads!

Then again, I'm born in England and aren't too fond of the monarchy either. They sit around on their arses all day doing nothing and earn more than most people do that work their arses off!

None taken. It depends on just how extreme 'far right' is. The last real anti-immigrant party (the Central Democrats) was disbanded years ago. But besides that, we have various liberal and religious party's (Muslim and Christian) on both sides of the spectrum. In fact, the left/right relationship is something like 45/55, so we aren't as 'left' as people generally asume [img]smile.gif[/img]

hmmm... I must not see the same "National Broadcast from the White House", because I've yet to see where Dubya is thinking about blowing up the world with nuclear warheads. Sound like you got a "slightly slanted" national broadcast there. And we say God Bless American at many occasions. Besides, I kinda of like seeing a little religion in the White house. At least it shows there is some sort of morality there now!
